Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoints of this study are overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).
    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to the time of death from any cause and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) defined as the time from randomization to the radiographic progression or death.
    Radiographic progression is defined according to an adapted version of Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria (either a RECIST progression in case of measurable lesions or the appearance of at least 2 new lesions on bone scan). In contrast to PCWG2 criteria, a second bone scan is not mandatory to confirm radiographic progression. The date of radiographic progression will be the date of progression as per the above definition.
    It should be noted that a patient can enter the post-CRPC follow up if progressive disease has been established by a PSA rise only, without radiographic progressive disease. In this scenario, imaging monitoring will continue every 6 months and radiographic progression may be established later.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Not applicable
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Castration resistance free survival (CRFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the castrate-resistant (CRPC) status or death from any cause.
    CRPC is defined by cancer progression (either a confirmed PSA rise or a radiographic progression) with serum testosterone being at castrated levels (<0.50 ng/mL).
    A PSA rise is defined by an increased serum PSA on 2 different measurements, confirmed by a third measurement (measurement A<B<C). The minimum level of the third PSA measurement should be 0.5 ng/mL.
    A minimum delay of 2 weeks is recommended between measurements A and B. A delay of 3 months is recommended between measurement B and C. The date of progression will be the date of measurement C.
    Serum testosterone should be obtained when PSA measurement C is done.
    In case of progression while serum testosterone is > 0.50 ng/mL, the patient should be rapidly submitted to another method of castration (chemical or surgical) and PSA + testosterone should be tested again to confirm or not CRPC progression.
    Radiographic progression is defined as per the above definition.
    For patients alive without radiographic progression or confirmed PSA rise at the time of analysis, data will be censored at the date of last follow-up.
    • Serious Genitourinary event-free survival (S-GU-EFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of one of the following events : urinary retention with need for a urinary catheter, suprapubic catheter, double J stent, nephrostomy, treatment of the prostate by radiotherapy (except that by randomization in arms C and D) or trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP), prostatectomy or death. It is assumed that prostate radiotherapy (and abiraterone) may prevent or delay these serious genitourinary events. For patients alive without Serious Genitourinary Event at the time of analysis, data will be censored at the date of last follow-up.
    • The prostate cancer-specific survival will be calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the death due to prostate cancer. For patients alive at the time of analysis, or who died from a cause other than prostate cancer, data will be censored at the date of last follow-up,
    • The time to next skeletal-related event will be defined by either a fracture or a bone pain requiring radiation therapy or a spinal cord compression or a preventive surgery to the bones. Events will be evaluated by investigators. No systematic X-Ray will be perform
    • PSA response rate will be assessed using a waterfall plot. Complete PSA response is defined by an undetectable serum PSA level (<0.2 ng/mL).
    • The prospective correlative study of PSA response/progression will be evaluate at 8 months after initiation of ADT,
    • The time to pain progression will be evaluated by questionnaires (BPI-SF) and calculated from the date of randomization to the first date the patient experiences a BPI-SF increase by ≥ 30% from baseline in the BPI-SF worst pain intensity (items 3) observed at 2 consecutive evaluations ≥ 4 weeks apart.
    • The time to chemotherapy will be calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first use of chemotherapy treatment for CRPC
    • Quality of life will be evaluated using the FACT-P and QLQ-C30 questionnaires.
    • Toxicity (with a specific focus on the use of long-term low-dose steroids) will be evaluated according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0
    • Bone loss will be evaluated by bone mineral density (BMD) to determine if patients receiving Abiraterone acetate and prednisone and/or radiotherapy have an increase risk
    • Correlation of biomarkers with outcome, including the prognostic and predictive value on OS, rPFS and CRFS of a neuro-endocrine differentiation of the prostate cancer in the pathological specimen.
